October birthday...

For Jackson's b-day we went to Canada. Started off with a fall foliage train ride, pretty awesome... pretty and the kids loved riding the train.



Next day we went for a walk all around Ottawa, capital of Canada, it seems like a very nice place. This made our fourth world capital within the last year we were able to visit... China, Japan, US, and Canada. Its crazy where you end up when you travel in the military! Of course, we also happened to visit Canada during their thanksgiving, which apparently they celebrate much like America does.
There are tons of statues around the parliament building, founders, recognition of important events, etc. This was the kids' favorite... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the sword.









It was a long walk and involved a stop at the museum of natural history. Tons of cool stuff there.
